Risk Evaluation

Definitions

1. The step in risk management where analyzed risks are compared against criteria such as tolerance, thresholds, and business priorities to decide what action is needed. Risk evaluation turns raw analysis into practical choices like accept, mitigate, transfer, or avoid.

   In plain English: Judging whether a risk is acceptable or needs action.

   Example: "After risk evaluation, the team decided the exposed research server required immediate containment rather than scheduled remediation."
